Microsoft has been working on a new desktop Outlook application for a while now, and the company started testing it with work and education accounts earlier this month. Now it’s rolling out more widely for Office Insiders. Microsoft officially revealed the new Outlook application for Windows this week, which is now available to test for education and corporate accounts enrolled in the Office Insiders program — personal Microsoft accounts still can’t join the fun, unfortunately. The new version is accessible with a “Try the New Outlook” toggle at the top right of the application.

Don’t you love when a character drops some meta commentary about a work of fiction that actually applies to the show they’re on? “It’s got everything: escape, revenge, deception,” Irene York (Sissy Spacek) says of The Count Of Monte Cristo . But of course, we know she’s really talking about Night Sky . The basic premise of Prime Video ’s latest series is simple enough: Elderly couple Irene and Franklin York (J.K. Simmons) have a secret chamber in their rural Illinois backyard that can teleport them to a deserted planet. But like Irene suggests, this show has a bit of everything. It’s not just science fiction; it tackles marriage, grief, identity, and—yes, you guessed it—escape, revenge, and deception, too.

But the sequel manages to rekindle that old feeling right from the opening frames, set to the same John Lunn score that dependably sent chills through Viewers Like You many a Sunday, just the way Alabama 3’s “Woke Up This Morning” did to fans of The Sopranos —only this time Downton does so without Laura Linney’s intro. Violet (Maggie Smith), the Dowager Countess, comes into possession of a villa in … [Read more...] about The Downton saga rekindles that old feeling, even in A New Era
